Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It is the sixth game in the Black Ops series and the seventeenth in the Call of Duty series. It is also a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops. Like previous games in the series, it is composed of three main modes of play, a single-player campaign, a player-vs-player multiplayer mode, and a 1-4 player cooperative zombies mode. The campaign's setting takes place primarily in 1981 with several flashbacks dating to 1968 during the Vietnam War, and the zombies and multiplayer mode take place simultaneously in 1984, hence, certain weapons are available in these modes that aren't present in the campaign because of the time difference. The player character is a new, customizable operative codenamed "Bell", who is part of a CIA task force, including Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson, out to stop a Soviet agent codenamed "Perseus" (based on the real-life conspiracy) from carrying out a decades-long plan that could radically alter the balance of power of the Cold War.

Overview

Black Ops Cold War maintains several weapon features from the 2019 Modern Warfare, including Gunsmith and the ability to reload while aiming down sights.

The game features an extensive swimming and underwater mechanic which inaccurately depicts weapons as being able to be fired underwater, something which would lead to malfunctions and possible complete weapon failures (i.e. exploded barrels) in reality. Also, bullet velocities for most of the weapon are much slower in-game than in real life, and some weapons unrealistically share the same velocities despite their different calibers and designs.

While Gunsmith offers a wide variety of attachments to equip, it lacks several features from Modern Warfare. It also features some staggeringly poor attachment descriptions filled with inaccuracies and misused terms. For example, STANAG is used as a catch-all term for extended magazines, despite the real usage being almost the exact opposite of such an idea.

Weapons from Black Ops Cold War also make appearances in Call of Duty: Warzone, a standalone battle royale game mode originally released for (and developed on) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). While most weapons are identical between BOCW and Warzone, a number of weapons, especially the ones added post-release, have more detailed animations in Warzone. More rarely, some BOCW weapons have different weapon models when implemented in Warzone.

Handguns

Beretta 93R

The Beretta 93R appears under the name "Diamatti". It holds 15 rounds by default, despite having a visibly extended magazine. It also has a slightly shorter barrel by default; the "7.2" Reinforced Heavy" barrel attachment gives it a more correct barrel length, though this one is shown as fluted.

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 is featured in the game, simply referred to as "1911" and featuring a nickel finish similar to the multiplayer 1911 weapon model from Black Ops. In the campaign, it is the main sidearm of almost everyone, including the Soviet and North Vietnamese forces, who would much more likely use the Makarov PM or Tokarev TT-33 as their sidearms. It incorrectly holds 8 rounds in a standard 7-round magazine. In alpha, beta, and pre-release materials, the M1911 appears with a parkerized finish and brown grips. The "Wingman" skin from the "Air Sea Land Pack" for the Ultimate Edition is also an M1911A1, featuring a paint-job similar to that of the P-51 Mustang fighters during WWII. The M1911A1 is also used in the Overpower finishing move.

Much like the 1911 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), the 1911 in Black Ops Cold War features a nice detail in the slide stop engaging the slide after the last round is fired from a magazine.

The standard reload involves power slinging the slide, there are magazine options that change that to an animation where the player character hits the slide stop.

A suppressed M1911A1 is racked in the multiplayer reveal trailer. Note the Ak 5 with what appears to be Advanced Armament Corporation OMNI 5.56mm suppressor which doesn't appear in actual multiplayer.

Desert Eagle

An anachronistic and visually altered Desert Eagle fitted with a Laser Products Corporation LPC Model 7 laser sight and an enormous muzzle brake appears as the "Hand Cannon" in the campaign mission "Desperate Measures". Inspiration for the weapon appears to come from the laser sighted AMT Hardballer from The Terminator. Perhaps taking its moniker a little too literally, it fires explosive rounds. The campaign version feeds from an 8-round magazine (which could or could not be correct, its caliber never being stated) and cannot be reloaded; once all eight rounds have been fired, it is discarded.

It was added as the "Hand Cannon" streak in Season 4, with 10 extremely powerful explosive rounds that can take out any streak you can shoot in one to four shots. It is the primary weapon of choice for the "One in the Chamber" gamemode. Its scorestreak icon shows an even more anachronistic picatinny railed Mark XIX than the Mark VII it is based on. The laser is now green, and aiming uses ironsights mounted on top of the laser. Its role is similar to the "Annihilator" revolver from BO3 and BO4, even reusing the sounds from those games for the "Annihilator".

Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark VII with nickel finish - .44 Magnum

The AMT Hardballer Longslide/LPC Model 7 laser sight combo from The Terminator which appears to have been the inspiration for the "Hand Cannon". The in game laser is incorrectly depicted as being switched on by pressing a fictional button at the rear while the real thing has a separate switch connected via cables.

Glock 18C

Three unusable Glock 18C pistols can be seen hanging on a wall on the multiplayer map "Checkmate". Their appearance is anachronistic as the map takes place in January 1985, while the Glock 18 was produced in 1986 - the 3rd Generation variants were introduced after 1998. A Glock pistol is also seen in the "Grizzled Veteran Master" calling card.

Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. This model has compensator cuts on the slide and barrel to reduce muzzle climb while firing.

The pistol in a highly unlikely place to be found, an East German training facility. Despite having the 18C's compensator cuts, the slide markings label it as a standard Glock 18.

"Magnum"

The "Magnum" is a fictional hybrid revolver that appears to have some influence from a variety of revolvers such as Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Arminius, Alfa, Astra and the Colt Trooper. The rear of the frame and the angle of the grip give it a strong resemblance to the G&G G733 airsoft revolver. The names of some of its muzzle attachments suggest that it is chambered in .45 ACP (misnamed ".45 APC"); this would contradict both the "Magnum" name, and its Warzone incarnation's stated chambering (.357 Magnum). Like other revolvers in previous Black Ops games, it is reloaded with single rounds by default, and still has the reload logic errors of the player character reloading only the rounds needed to refill the cylinder in gameplay despite the reload animation showing the entire cylinder being ejected.

The Magnum can also accept a suppressor, even though it almost certainly wouldn't work on the revolver in reality due to the gap between the cylinder, which would leak enough propellant gases to render the suppressor useless. The Magnum also has nonsensical 9-round and 12-round cylinders as attachment options; these cylinders are completely identical to the base cylinder dimensionally, with the amount of rounds held in them visibly remaining 6 rounds. They're only different in their shapes, being an unfluted cylinder and a Mateba-like hexagonal cylinder respectively. These cylinder options are also very incorrectly referred to as magazines in their attachment names.

The "Minted" blueprint gives the revolver a barrel that appears similar to the anachronistic Smith & Wesson Model 986, while others give it a Dan Wesson-style heavy barrel.

Colt Python with 6" Barrel - .357 Magnum

Colt Trooper MK V with straight wood grips and a 4" barrel - .357 Magnum

Smith & Wesson Model 17-6 - .22LR

Ruger Speed Six with blued finish and 2.75-inch barrel - .357 Magnum

Astra 357, 6" barrel - .357 Magnum

A close up look of the "Magnum" in Gunsmith, showing its many design inspirations - the sights come from Smith & Wesson revolvers, the cylinder, hammer, trigger & trigger guard from a Colt Python, the barrel seems to be a mix between that of a Python and a Colt Trooper (complete with a partial underlug rather awkwardly merged into a full one), and a Ruger-style recoil shield; the latter is supposed to have the cylinder release mounted on it, but the designer instead decided to put a conventional Astra-esque cylinder release behind it, forcing them to rather awkwardly stretch the frame forward to fit both.

The default reload animation has the player character individually insert rounds off screen; depending on the cylinder you choose in Gunsmith, a speed loader may be used instead (though dual-wielding will always reload both at once). The animation finishes with a wince-inducing flick of the wrist to shut the cylinder.

Makarov PM

Two Makarov PMs appear on Helen Park's "Scorched", "Bad Blood", "Hellion", and "Commando" outfits, as well as on Samantha Maxis' "Dark Aether" outfit and Portnova's "Handler" outfit. Aleksandra Valentina also carries a holstered one in the Zombies mode cutscenes.

Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov

The grips of both Makarovs can be seen in weird waist holsters on her vest.

Sedgley Fist Gun

Scattered throughout the CIA Safehouse used as the in-game mission hub are various unusable Sedgley Fist Guns.

Sedgley Fist Gun - .38

"Strife"

The fictional "Strife" pistol from Black Ops 4 can be seen on a table in the side mission "Operation Red Circus". Unusable and completely anachronistic to the game's setting, the gun was likely originally used as a placeholder during the mapping process that went overlooked and wasn't removed.

Smith & Wesson Sigma SW9F - 9x19mm Parabellum

Smith & Wesson Sigma SD40 - .40 S&W

Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 - 9x19mm Parabellum

Mason takes the time out of chasing a known enemy of the state to admire a time-traveling literal space pistol. While one could chalk it up to THE NUMBERS making him hallucinate guns that wouldn't exist for at least five (and at most seven) decades more, its appearance in the multiplayer map based off of this mission (Crossroads, taking place in 1983) marks it as a placeholder that never got removed.

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 is used by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine.

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

"Tranquilizer Gun"

A hybrid of a Ruger Mk II and a Welrod mocked up to be a tranquilizer pistol is used by Bell in the campaign. The detachable magazine holds 8 rounds, and the animations are reused from the M1911 listed above. The bolt from the Welrod is used as a slide when it locks back on an empty magazine, however, the weapon does not eject casings of any kind, which begs the question of what the slide actually does. Some sort of air canister is seen under the barrel, and the weapon makes noises comparable to compressed air being released, which makes sense.

Ruger Mark II - .22 LR

Welrod Mark II - .32 ACP.

From this angle, the grip is very clearly inspired by the Ruger Mk II.

But the ejection port and large knurled breech charging handle is very much Welrod-like.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5K

A Heckler & Koch MP5K with a collapsible stock and a threaded barrel is available as the "MP5". It has an aftermarket and anachronistic Vector Arms MP5K style handstop handguard with perforations instead of a vertical foregrip by default. It uses an HK claw mount with an anachronistic rail when equipping optics. It can be customized into a number of MP5 variants as seen below, having a wide latitude of barrel and stock configurations akin to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, the MP5K is used by US troops in Bell's Vietnam War flashbacks, which is both inaccurate and anachronistic (the MP5K was developed in 1976, and while the standard MP5 was first developed in 1966, it didn't see any form of service in Vietnam until 1975 as the MP5SD with the Green Berets). In this case (along with certain other weapons in the Vietnam missions), it can somewhat be excused by the fact that these are false flashbacks mixed with hallucinations).

All blueprint variants of the MP5 have the same lower receiver as those of Modern Warfare (being based on the receiver of a PTR 9KT, which is incredibly anachronistic to Cold War), with the triangular parts still facing the opposite direction compared to real S-E-F lowers.

Heckler & Koch MP5K "Reverse Stretch" with A3 stock - 9x19mm

The MP5K in Gunsmith. Note the gripless handguard resembling modern American examples with added vent holes for creativity points.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The weapon has some barrel attachments that turn it into a full-sized MP5A3. The "9.5" Extended" barrel has an original slimline handguard, while the "9.5" Ranger" has a "tropical" wide handguard.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD2

Combining either of the sound suppressors with the "9.5" Ranger" barrel configurations produces a Heckler & Koch MP5SD configuration. The "9.5" Extended" and "9.5" Reinforced Heavy" barrels also create an MP5SD with an alternate style of round handguard.

Intratec TEC-9 Hybrid

A mildly fictionalized Intratec TEC-9 was added with season five. It is depicted with the bolt assembly and charging handle of an Interdynamic KG-9, although it is shown firing from a closed bolt like an actual TEC-9. It also has the front sight of a PPSh-41 and the stock of an Interdynamic MP-9, though the latter can be removed with the "No Stock" attachment. When equipping grip attachments, it uses the base of the factory grip with the actual grip chopped off and replaced with the grip attachment of choice.

It fires in semi-auto by default, but there are attachments that convert it into full-auto (the fire rate of which appears to be slower than in real life) and an inaccurate burst fire mode. It incorrectly holds 21 and 24 rounds (in multiplayer and Warzone respectively) in the actual 32-round magazine, presumably to prevent a burst from having less than 3 rounds.

In terms of chronology, while the earlier MP-9/KG-9 was produced from 1981 (thus being borderline period appropriate for the 1981-1985 multiplayer maps), the TEC-9 has the post-1987 rear sight, rendering it anachronistic for the game.

Dual TEC-9s are used by Perseus operative Kitsune in the season five cinematic trailer. The weapon is also seen in the "Harbinger Of Doom" calling card.

"KSP 45"

The "KSP 45" is a fictional 3-round burst submachine gun. It is primarily based on the Heckler & Koch UMP45 with its boxy design, selector switch style, and similarly shaped rear sight, but takes other design cues from various Cold War-era submachine guns. It has an AR-like bolt release, a right-side charging handle, and a vertical magazine well with a paddle magazine release like the Walther MPL. Notably, it also resembles the "MACHT 37" frankengun from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Its buttstock seems to have been inspired by the one used on the Wieger StG-940 assault rifle; the "Tactical Stock" and "SAS Combat Stock" attachments swap this out for a PSG-1-style stock (without or with a cheek rest, respectively), while the "Wire Stock" attachment gives it a shortened MPi-KMS-72 stock with an extra bar on the top. Curiously, the "42 Rnd" and "48 Rnd STANAG" magazine attachments, while referred to as drums, appear to be shrunken-down machine gun belt boxes with feed towers instead of belt feed openings; the "42 Rnd Speed Mag" and "SALVO 48 Rnd Fast Mag" are Spectre M4-esque quad stack mags (of the exact same size, with the only difference being the latter's cloth shroud).

Although it isn't normally written in all caps, "Ksp" is the Swedish abbreviation for "machine gun" (short for Kulspruta); however, the trademarks on the right side of the "KSP 45" identify it as a "Kühn & Schmidt MP-U" and state that it is of West German origin. There is also a "WARNING REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL" stamp above the fire selector, which is similar to the markings on nonmilitary UMPs and USCs.

The "KSP 45" up close. At full size, the fire selector's 3 positions - "SAFE", (covered by the lever, but presumably "BURST"), and "AUTO" - can be seen; ignoring the rather obvious fact that the weapon can't be set to full-auto in-game, the lack of a semi-auto position on a select-fire weapon is rather bizarre. Somewhat amusingly, the former is accompanied by a single large white block, while the latter features three small ones, and what is presumably the three-round-burst position only features two.

"LC10"

The "LC10" is a fictional submachine gun that was added in Season 2. It appears to be based on the Walther MPK, with stylistic elements from (of all things) an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare sniper rifle (the developers having stated that in-universe it was made by the same manufacturer as the game's Accuracy International-inspired "LW3 Tundra"). Its Warzone incarnation was previously stated to be chambered in .45 ACP, but this was later changed to 9mm Parabellum. The muzzle brake and flash guard attachments still have the .45 caliber shown as part of their names (in which case it is mislabeled ".45 APC").

Much like the AUG, the LC10's transparent polymer magazine models the proper amount of ammunition in each magazine. Despite being depicted as a closed bolt gun, there is no round visible in the breech during the brass check section of the inspect animation.

Note the empty magazine.

MAC-10

The MAC-10 was added in Season 1. It is depicted with a custom side cocking charging handle similar to low profile Uzi cocking levers and uses anachronistic front grip adapter and top rail when attaching grip and sight attachments respectively. The side is marked with "Cal .45 Auto", which is contradicted by the use of a 32-round default magazine, the number "9" as part of some muzzle attachments names, and the use of 9mm Parabellum ammunition in Warzone. The weapon fires correctly from an open bolt in Cold War, but incorrectly from a closed bolt in Warzone.

The "Quick Judgement" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the Judge Dredd franchise.

OTs-02 Kiparis

The OTs-02 Kiparis was added in in the mid-season update for Season 4, under the name "OTs 9". It is technically anachronistic to the 80s time period of the game, as while it was designed in the seventies, it was first serially produced in 1991. It uses 20-round magazines by default, though 25, 30, 32 and 40 round magazines are available as attachments, with the 30 rounder being the only real option. The 30 and 40 rounders are regular magazine extensions, while the 25 and 32 rounders are curved "speed mags".

The Kiparis is one of the few weapons to have a distinctly different set of animations in Warzone compared to Cold War.

It apparently moves independently of the rest of the gun during this animation; at the end (and after firing a shot), the bolt visibly drops down a couple of millimeters, suggesting that the animation doesn't quite loop like it's supposed to.

PM-63 RAK

The PM-63 RAK was added during Season 3 as the "AMP63"; unlike its incarnation in BO1, it is classified as a pistol. Also unlike that incarnation, it has a correct 15-round capacity by default (with 20-, 22-, and 25-round optional magazines available, the latter being the only real one), as well as a more correct rate of fire. To avoid making anything too correct, its foregrip and stock are now permanently folded, and it erroneously fires from a closed bolt. Additionally, its Warzone incarnation is incorrectly chambered in 9mm Parabellum (a feature of the PM-70 prototype) rather than 9x18mm Makarov.

The "Lawgiver" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the Judge Dredd franchise.

PP-19 Bizon-2

An anachronistic and heavily stylized PP-19 Bizon-2 (developed in the 1990s) appears under the name "Bullfrog". It is depicted with a ribbed dust cover resembling that of an AS Val, and the rear sight relocated to the rear of the receiver, along many other cosmetic changes. The default helical magazine only holds 50 rounds instead of 64 or 53 like its real-world counterpart (in 9x18mm Makarov and 9x19mm Parabellum, respectively), and its front attachment point is below the front sight (like the earlier Bizon-1). It has a top-folding stock by default, but can be fitted with a side-folding stock similar to that of other Bizon variants, via the "Duster Stock" or the "KGB Skeletal Stock" attachment.

PPSh-41

The PPSh-41 was added in Season 3. It is carried by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine and inaccurately by Soviet troops in the Season 3 cutscene, which is set in 1984. It is also seen in the "Combat Hardened" achievement icon which is based on the "Stand to Death" statue in Volgograd.

By default, it holds 32 rounds; this is a characteristic of the MP41(r), a German 9x19mm conversion of the PPSh-41 from WWII, even though the in-game weapon is modeled with a standard PPSh-41's 35-round magazine. Interestingly, the "VDV 50 Round Fast Mag" attachment gives the weapon a straight magazine looking similar to that of the MP41(r). To confuse matters further, its muzzle attachments imply that it's chambered in .45 ACP (or rather, .45 "APC"), a feature of absolutely no version of the PPSh.

The weapon has a variety of rather strange barrel options - the "15.7" Task Force" barrel, as well as the "Loud Pipe" variant, have a front forend and heat shield styled after the SVT-40 (a setup extremely similar to the "Thrive" and "Snake" variations from Call of Duty: WWII); the "14.9" Rifled" barrel gives it an Erma EMP-35's barrel shroud and the small wooden forend of a PPD-40; the "14.9" Ranger" barrel has what appears to be a Browning M1919 barrel shroud with a Karabiner 98k front sight; the "14.9" Reinforced Heavy" barrel is taken from the K-50M (albeit also fitted with a Kar98k's front sight); the "12.7" Cavalry Lancer" barrel is seemingly inspired by the PPD-40's (albeit shorter, with larger vents and no handguard); and the "14.3" Extended" barrel is taken from the PPS-43. Stock options include the "Tactical Stock" (an MP28-style stock with a leather cheekrest), the "Spetznaz Stock" (a regular-looking stock with a cheekrest and two seemingly-random bolts driven directly through the receiver), and the "Marathon", "Duster", and "CQB" stocks (all sawn off, with the former having the original wooden side panels, the latter having K-50M-esque metal side panels, and the Duster having the metal side panels of the experimental folding-stocked PPSh-45; these panels are also used by the "Raider Stock", seemingly a grafted-on rifle stock).

The "Night Raid" blueprint is stylized after WWII planes like the P-40 Warhawk with the addition of a red dot sight stylized after WWII aircraft reflector gunsights like the Mk 20 Mod 4 sight.

SOCIMI Type 821

The SOCIMI Type 821 appears in-game. It was referred to as the "Type 821" during the alpha, but the name was changed to "Milano 821" in the Beta (with Milano being Italian for Milan, the city where this gun was made). It has an anachronistic Masterpiece Arms side cocking charging handle instead of the proper top mounted one like the Uzi it was based on. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as it was designed in 1983 and produced in 1984 (the earlier Uzi would have been a better choice).

Shotguns

Franchi SPAS-12

The Franchi SPAS-12 appears as the "Gallo SA12" (gallo means "rooster" or "cock" in Italian). It is used in semi-automatic mode, and the stock is folded by default, but it can be modified with some unfolded stock options, as well as a fixed stock or no stock at all. Attaching optics will automatically unfold the stock as well. It is weirdly used by Soviet forces in the campaign, and also appears anachronistically in the false flashbacks to the Vietnam War.

In a rare bit of realism, the carrier latch button is depressed during reloads to allow the user to load shells (unless an optical attachment is used, in which case the player character will grasp the shotgun from the heat shield instead). When not aiming, the weapon will be upended during reloads (as previously seen in Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered), while the weapon will be held right-side up if reloading while aiming. However, the gun is never rechambered after an empty reload. It holds 7 shells, which is possible with 6 round tubes and a 7th shell in the chamber (or with an underloaded 8-round tube), but as this is never depicted, the tube length is fictional. The magazine tube itself looks more like a 5 or 6 shell tube rather than the 7 shells the weapon actually holds.

The extended 9 and 12 round tubes are modeled incorrectly; while the tube does get longer, it only grows by about 0.5 shells length each time to avoid a comically large magazine tube sticking out of the front of the shotgun.

Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun

A stylized Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun was added with Season 6 as the ".410 Ironhide". It is extremely anachronistic; not only Henry lever action shotguns were produced in 2017, but the side loading gate version featured in-game was introduced in 2019. It is fitted with a Williams sight. Compared to the game's other shotguns, it is more precision-oriented, with the tightest spread, lowest fire rate, and worst hipfire spread (the weapon's barrel somehow spreading pellets differently based on how the user looks at it); somewhat bafflingly, it also does the most damage out of all the game's shotguns, despite firing the smallest shells by a substantial margin.

In reverse of the above, this shotgun is always cocked after every reload in Cold War's multiplayer. However, this is corrected in Warzone, where it is only cocked when empty.

Ithaca 37

The Ithaca 37 appears in-game as the "Hauer 77", likely a reference to Rutger Hauer, the late star of the film Hobo with a Shotgun. The weapon is pumped after every single reload (in both Cold War and Warzone).

A shortened version called the "Sucker Punch" is available as a skin via the "Air Sea Land" pack for the Ultimate Edition. The base weapon can also be shortened by equipping the "19.3" Hammer Forged" barrel and the "No Stock" attachment.

Penn Arms Striker-12

The Penn Arms Striker-12 was added to the game during Season 1. It has the auto-ejection mechanism (and therefore the shell deflector) of late models, but lacks a rear drum advance lever like early models. The design is anachronistic, as the auto-ejection feature on Striker shotguns (developed in 1989) wasn't yet in existence during game's time period (when the company was called Sentinel Arms), and the original model wouldn't fit in the pre-1983 multiplayer maps either.

It is referred to as the "Streetsweeper", and incorrectly fires in fully-automatic mode. Unlike its counterpart from previous games, the winding key is correctly used to rotate the cylinder while reloading, although there is a missing step in which the player character is supposed to manually eject the last shell with the ejector rod.

TP-82

A stylized TP-82 was added in season five as the "Marshal", an in-universe predecessor to BO3's "Marshal 16". It is used by Woods as a backup sidearm in the season five cinematic trailer. It is classed as a pistol instead of a shotgun.

The weapon lacks the 5.45mm barrel that the actual weapon has, meaning it functions as a regular double-barrel shotgun. Furthermore, it has been rechambered for 12 gauge instead of the 12.5x70mm shells it actually uses. Owing to its pistol classification, it can be dual-wielded. The weapon only has 6 attachments, which include two optics (mounted on an anachronistic Picatinny rail), a cut-down barrel, a longer barrel and dual-wield. The final attachment is "Dragon's Breath" shells, which do not set enemies on fire, instead they just have a flat damage increase and a cosmetic fire effect, but they are still countered by Flak Jacket.

The two hammers on the gun are not dynamically animated in BOCW, but are in Warzone. In BOCW, the right hammer doesn't drop after firing the first shot (from the right barrel), and both hammers will only drop (simultaneously) after firing both shots; the Warzone animation correctly shows the right hammer dropping after the first shot. This also extends to the reload animations: the BOCW animation only shows the operator cocking both hammers when reloading both both barrels, while the Warzone animation has an additional animation showing the operator cocking the one dropped hammer when reloading a single barrel.

Markings on the weapon read "Manufactured in the USA" and "Marshal 82". In a nice bit of attention-to-detail, struck primers can be seen on the fired shells when reloading.

Ak 5

A stylized Ak 5 is featured in the game as the "Krig 6" (krig means "war" in Swedish). It anachronistically appears in the campaign's 1981 period and in the false flashbacks to Vietnam, as it was first produced in 1986 (the FN FNC, from which the Ak 5 was derived, would have been a more appropriate choice for the 80s segments). It also uses an anachronistic upper rail when equipping optics. It is used inaccurately by the East German police and Soviet and American troops in the campaign, who would much more likely use the MPi-AKS-74N and M16 respectively.

The "Tactical Stock" gives it a synthetic fixed FN FAL stock (similar to some FNC configurations), and the "Commando Assembly" stock is taken from a SIG SG 550 series rifle.

AK-47/AKM Hybrid

An "AK-47" is featured in the game. During the alpha and beta stages, it was mostly modeled correctly after an AK-47, albeit with an AKM-style pistol grip and slant compensator. However, the model of the base gun was changed in the final game: now it also has an AKM's stamped receiver and ribbed top cover, while retaining the AK-47's gas block, gas tube, front sight block, handguard, and stock.

It can be fitted with an RPK-style barrel and stock via the "20" Liberator" barrel and the "Tactical Stock" respectively. Other notable Eastern Bloc customizations include a Romanian/East German style coat-hanger stock with the added cheek strut piece as the "Wire Stock". The "Foregrip" is a Romanian type wooden foregrip and the "Patrol Grip" is a Hungarian FEG-style foregrip. It uses a fictionalized Dragunov optics mount modified into a rail mount when equipping optics.

The AK can also take an extended 40-round steel magazine or a 50-round orange Bakelite resin mag.

Reloading from empty involves flinging the old magazine out by hitting the mag release with the feed lip of a new magazine.

Then after rocking in the fresh magazine, racking the bolt with an anachronistic underhand charge. The underhand charge is a modern technique that appears to have developed after the 2000s. Interestingly, a more conventional reload was used in the beta but was changed to the underhand method in the final game presumably due to the community's dissatisfaction with the game's reload animations compared to Modern Warfare.

AK-47

Many blueprints, such as the "Iron Curtain" and "Soviet Standard", retain the AK-47's appearance seen in earlier builds of the game. Additionally, some unusable AK-47s can be seen in the CIA Safehouse.

The Season 1 "Prototype" blueprint gives the weapon a green M16-style stock and a modern barrel, and the "Lethal Damage" blueprint has a sporterized stock.

The world model of the Type 56 shows the Type 56-2 style folding stock, which is anachronistic to those (false) flashback missions, because the Type 56-2 was released after the war in 1980. Note how it also has an Type 56/AK-47 style pistol grip rather than the AKM one used on the base AK.

AMD-65

The Rambo III inspired "Bloodstained" blueprint gives the gun a similar appearance to the AMD-65, except that it retains the AK-47's front sight and gas system.

AKS-74U

The AKS-74U is one of the weapons in Black Ops Cold War. In classic Call of Duty tradition, it is incorrectly classified as a submachine gun and referred to as the "AK-74u". While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, it's quite overrepresented even with Woods having one in his trunk at a time when the Soviets were just introducing it to service in Afghanistan. It also appears anachronistically in Bell's false flashbacks to the Vietnam War, where it's inaccurately used by the Vietcong.

It has attachment configurations that approximate members of the AS Val family. The "Duster Stock" is similar the Val stock, the "Commando Assembly" stock is from the VSS Vintorez, and the "10.3" Ranger" barrel configuration uses the SR-3M's handguard. The "40 Rd Speed Mag" is also a 20-round 6L25 9x39mm magazine.

In addition, the drum magazine attachments are straighter-style 7.62x39mm drum magazines.

AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm

While this is the most accurately modeled AKS-74U in the Call of Duty series so far, it is shown with an AK-47 style pistol grip, apparently having traded grips with the Beta AK-47.

The "Escape Plan" blueprint of the AKS-74U - as with the "Battleworn" AKM from Modern Warfare Remastered, the dust cover is gone and reveals fully modeled internals. Note that the "Spetsnaz PKM Stock" attachment is just a regular AK-type stock in this blueprint. Also note that this game does not contain a PKM, which is odd, as many Warsaw Pact weapons feature stocks with "Spetsnaz PKM stock" as their name.

"CARV.2"

The "CARV.2" added during Season 3 is a fictional burst-firing bullpup "tactical rifle" manufactured by the same (in-universe) company that manufactures the "KSP 45". It appears to be based on the Heckler & Koch G11 K2, even using the latter's 4.73mm caseless ammunition in Warzone.

Compared to the real G11, the "CARV.2" is a bullpup rifle with a a conventional bullpup configuration, with the magazine placed in the stock instead of above the barrel. This magazine holds 45-rounds by default, and bizarrely has ".437mm×33" written on it. Oddly, the magazine is also curved, despite the caseless 4.73mm round not being tapered (which is the reason for curved magazines, to allow for the round to feed properly).

The "CARV.2" appears shorter and slightly taller than the G11, with a carrying handle instead of the G11's integrated optic, and a rail where the real G11's magazine resides. The handguard is moulded, and the barrel is vented, presumably a way of alleviating the problems the G11 had with its barrel heating up during operation, as there are no brass shells to take the heat out of the rifle. The fire selector is further forward than the real G11, but still features semi-auto, 3-round burst and full-auto, although the rifle is not able to fire in semi-auto or full-auto in gameplay.

CETME Model C

The CETME Model C was added in Season 4 as the "C58".

The "SASR Jungle Grip" gives it a similar pistol grip to the Heckler & Koch PSG-1, and the "Raider Stock" also resembles a PSG-1 stock. The "CQB Stock" is a sliding design similar to the G3A4.

Interestingly, one of the magazine options is a caliber conversion (the first such attachment in the game), using 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition in a fictional 60-round drum; oddly, the only thing this does is decrease the damage in exchange for a larger-than-normal magazine, with no impact on fire rate, recoil, muzzle velocity, etc. This is not the case for the Warzone counterpart, as that one instead has a 55-round drum option that retains the base 7.62x51mm ammunition.

The curved "25 Rnd Speed" and "Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag" look like PTR 32 magazines. The "18.7" Reinforced Heavy Barrel" will give it a handguard resembling that of an IMI Romat's while the "18.2" Takedown" to its predecessor the Model B. "15.6" Ultralight" and "18.7" Ranger" will give it a handguard resembling that of a Model E.

FAMAS Hybrid

The "FFAR 1" is a weapon based on the FAMAS Valorisé combined with a trigger guard and magazine well from FAMAS G2 (both of which would be anachronistic to the game), with some visual features similar to the "FFAR" from Call of Duty: Black Ops III. The default magazine correctly holds 25 rounds instead of 30 like in past Call of Duty games.

In the game's lore it appears that this weapon is the successor of the FAMAS from the first Black Ops game and predecessor to the "FFAR" from Black Ops III.

When equipped for the first time, the character properly presses the fire selector button to switch the weapon to full-auto mode. It is correctly referred as firing .280 British in Warzone and in the names of some of the muzzle attachments. While not anachronistic, its usage by anyone in the 80s is extremely unlikely due to only 59 examples being ever produced.

According to the markings above the magazine well, its full name in the Black Ops universe is "NIGHTFIELD EM280", referencing the .280 British round the weapon fires.

IMI Galil ARM

The IMI Galil ARM was added in Season 6, and is called the "Grav" like in BO4. It has an AS Val stock and a slightly shorter barrel by default, but can be fitted with a longer barrel in Gunsmith.

K31

The K31 Rifle was added to the sniper rifles category in Season 3, under the name "Swiss K31". It has a shortened barrel by default, though the "24.9" Extended" barrel attachment gives it the correct barrel length.

The Warzone incarnation of the K31 is correctly chambered in 7.5x55mm. Despite this, some barrel attachment make it seem like the weapon fires .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, which would be incorrect.

M14

The M14 appears in the game as the "DMR 14". It sports a synthetic stock (though equipping the Duster Pad stock gives it a chequered wooden stock), fires semi-automatically, and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer.

M16A2

The M16A2 appears under the "tactical rifles" class. It is simply referred to as the "M16" in the HUD, but actually has "M16.A2" markings on the magwell. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine, and the pin for the auto sear on the lower receiver is absent, which in reality would prevent the rifle from firing in bursts. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as the M16A2 was not adopted for service yet, first being adopted in 1983 by the USMC and in 1986 by the Army. Rather than removing the carry handle as in previous Black Ops games, it uses an anachronistic carry handle rail when equipping optics. The weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

The M16's alternate barrel options include "16.3" Rapid Fire", "20.5" Cavalry Lancer", "16.3" Titanium", "20.2" Takedown", and "15.9" Strike Team"; of these, the 20.5" barrel options are visually just the default barrel but fluted ("Cavalry Lancer") or dimpled ("Takedown"). For the short barrel options, the "Rapid Fire" and "Strike Team" both give the gun a short triangular handguard (the difference is that "Rapid Fire" has a smooth barrel while "Strike Team"'s is fluted), while "Titanium" gives the gun a short round handguard, the end result somewhat resembling a Colt Model 723 14.5" A1 barrel.

The M16's stock options include "Tactical Stock", the normal M16A2 stock with a cheek pad, "Wire Stock", an M231 FPW-like wire stock, "Duster Stock", a Doublestar Ace skeleton stock, "Commando Assembly", a 2nd generation collapsible stock, and "Buffer Tube", an exposed buffer tube with a rubber pad.

Magazine options include the classic Black Ops jungle-style fast mags made with either duct tape or clamps, a 30-round STANAG magazine depicted as a 45-rounder, a 20-round STANAG magazine with an improvised duct tape magazine assists somehow also depicted as a 45-rounder, and a 54-round magazine (which also appears on the in-game XM4, where it holds 50 rounds).

Norinco Type 63

The Norinco Type 63 is available in the game, classified as a "tactical rifle". Despite being select-fire in reality, it is restricted to semi-automatic mode in-game; the spike bayonet is also unusable. It uses what appears to be an anachronistic M14 rifle style rail mount when equipping optics. The default magazine initially held a correct 20 rounds in the closed alpha, but this was increased to an incorrect 25 in the beta and final game.

Norinco QBZ-95-1

An anachronistic Norinco QBZ-95-1 rifle appears in the game, featuring several retro-styled cosmetic alterations. It was briefly seen in the Gunsmith trailer, labeled the "Type 15", but the name was changed to "QBZ-83" in the Beta. The Type 95's development began in 1989, with the first prototypes being made in 1990. The in-game weapon bears some cosmetic resemblances to some of the Type 95's early prototypes, but is still clearly based on the QBZ-95-1, which began its development in 2004 and was adopted in 2010.

The side of the gun is marked with "T97NSR-PWC-CAL 5.56 mm"; T97NSR refers to a semi-auto only civilian variant of the 5.56mm QBZ-97A sold in Canada named Type 97 NSR. This likely suggests that Treyarch modeled the gun after a Type 97 NSR then modified it to make it resemble a Chinese QBZ-95 (with its distinct magazine shape and paddle magazine release) and "retro-ified" it. Some of its muzzle attachments also have "5.56" as part of their names, though it is unclear if this is an intentional reference to the QBZ-97 connections or a result of the generally confused state of attachment name/descriptions in BOCW; its Warzone incarnation is also supposedly chambered in 5.56 NATO.

The "QBZ-83" name would suggest that it was adopted in 1983 in the Black Ops universe which would still be anachronistic to the pre-83 maps.

Norinco QBZ-95-1 - 5.8x42mm

Norinco QBZ-97 - 5.56x45mm

The stylized, time-traveling QBZ on the loadout wall. The weapon's trigger and trigger guard shape come from the HS Produkt VHS-2, with the latter being made from stamped metal rather like the FAMAS. Its magazines appear to be loosely based on Chinese steel AK magazines. It also has three vents on the upper handguard and a birdcage-like muzzle device, both elements of the QBZ-97.

In Gunsmith, the Canadian Type 97 NSR markings are more easily seen. The space between the pistol grip and the magazine well is marked with the Chinese text "83式自动步枪" (Pinyin: 83 shì zì dòng bù qiāng), which means "Type 83 automatic rifle". The word "中国" (Pinyin: zhōng guó), meaning "China", can also be faintly seen marked on the magazine well. The rear of the stock is very faintly marked with what's apparently "梦想" (Pinyin: mèng xiǎng), or "dream". Also note that the fire selector only has safe/fire positions like a civilian model.

OTs-14 Groza

A stylized OTs-14 Groza with a shortened receiver was added to the game in Season 1. It is anachronistic, as the real weapon was produced in 1992. It feeds from 5.45x39mm style magazines, something which is not confirmed to have existed on a real Groza, but is actually used on a Groza-inspired bullpup AK pistol developed in the late 2010s by US-based Bad Element Co. In contrast, its Warzone incarnation is stated to be chambered in "7.62 Soviet" (i.e. 7.62x39mm), and some of its muzzle attachments have "7.62" as part of their name.

OTs-14-4A-01 Groza - 9x39mm

The Groza in the battlepass preview screen. It isn't entirely clear why the weapon has been so heavily stylized, especially considering that one of the perks of adding a Groza to a game with other AKs is that you can re-use parts of their models (including more or less the entire receiver sans optic rail).

"RAI K-84"

The "RAI K-84" (standing for "Reactorniy Avtomat-Izluchatel Kuhlklay-84", translated "Reactor Automatic Radiator Kuhlklay-84") is a "Wonder Weapon" in the Zombies map Firebase Z released during Season 1. It is based on an AK-74 with the depiction of a milled receiver; such a configuration exists on the Waffen Werks WW-74M, a US-made semi-automatic rifle, though the in-game weapon has two rivets at the rear like the stamped receiver of a standard AK-74. It is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher called the "GP-6K2" and modeled after a GP-25.

AK-74 - 5.45x39mm

The "RAI K-84" as seen in the Firebase Z trailer.

Grumbling at the fact that Primis and Ultimis were replaced by literal nobodies, of which he is one of them, the Requiem Operator in Firebase Z consoles himself by looking at his shiny space AK. The jumbled mess of parts and components welded to a traditional assault rifle base at least backs up its designation as a prototype.

Inspecting the magazine-shaped cell holder used to power the rifle, vaguely resembling the Kalash magazines in the Metro games. It would probably not be wise to place one's fingers anywhere near the cells in the magazine, considering they are actively and visually sparking.

At least reloading the weapon shows more careful finger placement. As a bit of trivia, intel in the map notes that the RAI K-84 was based off of a "Generator Khaosa Zavoyski-45" weapon that was developed in-universe in WWII. This is a reference to the otherwise completely fictional "GKZ-45 Mark3" Wonder Weapon from the Call of Duty: Black Ops III map Gorod Krovi, implying the RAI K is a successor to it. This is backed up by it operating like a more powerful version of the GKZ; a powerful laser bolt firing weapon with a secondary, grenade-type fire that explodes when shot at with the former.

Steyr AUG A1

The Steyr AUG A1 appears in the game as the "AUG" and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer. It incorrectly fires in three-round bursts, a feature of the much later (2005) AUG A3. Its foregrip is folded by default, but it can be unfolded via the "Field Agent foregrip"; it also has some rail-mounted foregrip options. Like the M16A2, the weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

XM16E1

The fully-automatic XM16E1 appears exclusively in the campaign. It is labeled "M16A1" in the HUD and on the magwell (though the pick-up text spells it with a lowercase "a", for some reason), but it actually has the appearance of a 'faux' XM16E1, as seen in some movies where the guns are built from M16A1s. This is firstly evidenced by the combination of an XM16E1's 3-prong flash hider with an M16A1's full fence lower. The weapon also appears to have a chrome bolt carrier, which was present on the XM16E1, but not on the M16A1. For some reason, the XM16E1 has an anachronistic A2 pistol grip, while the XM4 has a A1 pistol grip.

In a small though somewhat confusing detail, the receiver bears a forge code mark, C H. This would indicate a rifle with an upper receiver built from Harvey Aluminum billets, but this code would have been in use from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, well after Vietnam and never on an actual XM16E1 (though M16A1s were made with this code). Due to the nature of the game's storyline, this could be justified as intentional anachronism, however.

It appears in the two Vietnam flashback levels, as well as a few other missions where it is available alongside the M16A2. It is incredibly powerful, as the weapon's damage was balanced for occasional bursts rather than consistent fully-auto firing, made even easier with the game's rather controllable muzzle climb. It uses the same reloading animations as the M16A2, but has a different firing sound. It is also seen in the "Good Enough" calling card.

Bell holds an XM16E1 in a Vietnamese village.

XM177E1

The XM177E1, specifically the later model with a full fence lower, appears under the name "XM4". It is depicted with a flat top, seeming to be the result of a chopped off carry handle with a bolted rail (which was done in the 1980s by Olympic Arms and some other manufacturers). It has an anachronistic rear sight which is a hybrid between the Troy Battle Sight and Midway Industries Flip Up Sight, and the flash hider has been altered to resemble an A1. It also appears to have been based on a civilian model, as it has semi-auto only selector markings (Fire/Safe).

The weapon is wrapped in slings with a portion tucked behind the bolt catch like the "Commando" from the first Black Ops, although the default empty reload animation in this case correctly uses the charging handle instead of trying to hit the bolt release, which couldn't possibly work with a cloth strap tucked behind it (that said, some reload animations, like the jungle mags reload animation, still involve hitting the sling-padded bolt catch). Equipping any stock customization removes the sling wrap. Mounting optics removes the front sight but keeps the gas block.

The XM4 designation is anachronistic for the time period of 1981, as the XM177 wouldn't be designated as "XM4" until 1983, and even then would be attached to an improved model of the XM177E2. The A1 pistol grip is inaccurately depicted as being solid instead of hollow.

The "Black Tide" blueprint replaces the regular handguard with a carbine-length M203 grenade launcher heat shield; it also has a yellow tiger stripe camouflage paint similar to the M79 used by "The Roach" in Apocalypse Now. The "Giantsbane" variant uses an anachronistic Z-M LR 300 handguard and front sight (the LR 300 having been introduced in 2000). It is also seen in the "Reaper Of The Dead" calling card.

The "Inconspicuous" blueprint uses the M16A2's upper receiver, while retaining the XM177E1's earlier teardrop forward assist, however. It has an Olympic Arms OA-93 style handguard with vents patterned after the Advanced Armament Corporation OMNI suppressor, an Israeli style elastic handguard band, what appears to be a faux suppressor, a tactical light, a stock cheek pad and a SureFire MAG5-60 magazine. The "Fly Trap" blueprint has an A2 handguard, an A2 pistol grip, and an A2 forward assist. The "Ultimate Hunter" has an anachronistic quad rail handguard, a muzzle brake with a breach face, a scope with some cosmetic similarities to a Trijicon ACOG, and a collapsible stock modelled after various offerings from the late 2000's onwards.

Sniper Rifles

Accuracy International PM/AW Hybrid

The "LW3 - Tundra" is a hybrid of the Accuracy International Precision Marksman and the Arctic Warfare, along with some fictional elements. It has a Precision Marksman-style stock, and lacks a finger cutout in the magwell like this model, but has the safety of an Arctic Warfare (incorrectly set to the rear position, which would lock the bolt and the trigger), as well as an adjustable cheek pad and a flash hider like the latter. Curiously enough, it also uses Picatinny rails like the AW, but with a PM-like scope mount and backup rear sight used on it. The rifle is mildly anachronistic, as the Precision Marksman wasn't developed until 1982 and the Arctic Warfare wasn't developed until 1988, while the campaign takes place in 1981 and multiplayer takes place between 1981-1985. The name Tundra suggests it was intended to be based off of the Artic Warfare, but they went with PM elements to keep it to the multiplayer's time period.

Barrett M82A1M

The Barrett M82A1M appears in the game as the "M82". It is anachronistic to the game, since it was developed in the 1990s; the original M82 would be more accurate for some multiplayer maps. To balance out its semiautomatic firing mode, the M82A1M is comically the weakest sniper rifle in terms of per-shot damage, not even able to break the bulletproof armor scorestreak in one shot.

Mechem NTW-20

The Mechem NTW-20 was added in the Season 2 Reloaded update as the "ZRG 20mm". It is heavily stylized and fitted with a PSO-1 scope with incorrect reticle by default. It also has a far shorter barrel by default, making the weapon shorter then the in-game Barrett M82A1M, despite the NTW-20 being roughly twice the length of the Barrett. It is anachronistic by more than a decade and is set up for left-handed use, with the magazine and bolt handle on the right and left side respectively, opposite what it should be.

Remington 700PSS

The Remington 700PSS appears as the "Pelington 703", complete with a permanently attached Harris bipod (which can be deployed by equipping the "Front Grip" or "Bipod" underbarrel attachments). Like the M40 and R700 rifles in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, it is reloaded with individual rounds. It is anachronistic for the game as it was designed in 1986 while the 80s segments of Black Ops Cold War take place in 1981-1985; the scope also mounts on an anachronistic rail. It also appears anachronistically in Bell's Vietnam War false flashbacks where it is depicted as being used by the US troops, though it could be standing in for a standard Remington 700. Its Warzone incarnation is stated to use .308 ammunition (most likely Winchester).

A handheld M134 Minigun is featured in the game. It is shown with a 4-flange barrel clamp (like an original General Electric M134) combined with a Dillon Aero flash hider. It is obtainable in the campaign mission "The Final Countdown", under the name "M134 Minigun". It was later added to multiplayer and Zombies in Season 2 as the "Death Machine".

It also appears mounted on helicopters, including the "Chopper Gunner" scorestreak in multiplayer, and as part of the "Sentry Turret" scorestreak. A helicopter-mounted version can be used by Bell during a setpiece in "Fracture Jaw".

M60

The M60 is one of the machine guns in BOCW; it is the original model, as opposed to the M60E3 featured in past games.

A mounted version can also be found in "End of the Line". It is also seen in the "Harvest Time" calling card.

The RPD is featured in Black Ops Cold War, with an incorrect disintegrating ammunition belt. The "Fast Mag" reload animation shows the RPD reload in a unique manner by having the new belt pulled through the closed top cover, whereas the default reload involves using the feed tray cover.

In the campaign, it is used by Soviet forces in 1981, at a time when it had already been phased out in favor of the PKM and the RPK-74.

Stoner 63A

The Stoner 63A is available in-game. Its in-game configuration primarily matches the Commando configuration, feeding from the right and featuring a bottom cocking handle. By default, it has a long barrel generally associated with the LMG configuration, though it can be modified with a Commando barrel via the "16" SOR Cut Down" attachment; this is a rather strange name, given that the Commando-length barrel was a factory option. A few Soviet heavies in the campaign are seen using these instead of the more faction-appropriate RPD.

The gun can use a 100-round drum modeled after the real gun's left-feeding 100-round drum, mirrored to feed from the right instead of the left (and also featuring some cosmetic differences). The gun also has a fictional 125-round box option.

Launchers

FIM-43 Redeye

The FIM-43 Redeye appears under the name "Cigma 2". Despite being a dedicated MANPADS in reality, the weapon can still be fired even without a lock-on and against ground targets.

Dummy FIM-43 Redeye Block I/II with sling - 70mm

The Redeye in Gunsmith.

GP-25

The "RAI K-84" wonder weapon in Zombies is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher, called the "GP-6K2" and taking the form of a GP-25.

GP-25 - 40mm

The Requiem Operator readies his Vortex launcher. Rather than relying on its own source of ammunition, the launcher instead takes ten shots from the magazine every time it is fired.

Wires between the launcher and the main body of the gun can be better seen while reloading.

Hawk MM1 grenade launcher

The Hawk MM1 grenade launcher appears as the "War Machine" scorestreak. Bell wields one that somehow manages to hold 36 rounds in one of the final missions of the campaign.

Hawk MM1 grenade launcher - 40x46mm

The Hawk MM1 in the scorestreak selection menu.

M79 grenade launcher

The M79 grenade launcher is one of the launchers in the game.

F-1 High-Explosive Fragmentation Hand Grenade

The "Artist" skin for the operator Portnova from season 2 in-game.

The "Violent Nature" skin in-game.

The "Meltdown" skin in-game.

M18 smoke grenade

The M18 smoke grenade is carried by US soldiers in Vietnam in the campaign. M18s with inverted color scheme are also carried by Naga. On the 2021 released map "Apocalypse", several M18s with purple smoke lying around the ruins.

An unusable unprimed M18 releasing endless, incorrectly-colored smoke.

The "Wrecking Ball" skin in-game.

The M34 White Phosphorous grenade appears as the "Smoke Grenade".

M67 fragmentation grenade.

M83 smoke grenade

An anachronistic M83 instead of the period-appropriate AN/M8 HC smoke grenades are carried by Sims and US troops in "Fracture Jaw".

M83 TA smoke grenade

M84 stun grenade

An M84 stun grenade is carried by Woods in the campaign and is seen in cinematics. The same fictionalized M84 from Modern Warfare is also carried by multiplayer operator Zeyna. It is anachronistic as it was used from 1995 in reality.

M84 stun grenade

M84 stun grenades seen in the arsenal of a Perseus team in the multiplayer reveal trailer.

Mk 2 hand grenade

The Mk 2 hand grenade is seen in the key art for the game's beta.

The MK3A2 as seen in the loadout section.

Rheinmetall MK13 Mod 0 BTV-EL flash grenade

MK 13 flashbang grenades are carried by US troops in cutscenes and are seen on the default skins for multiplayer operators Adler and Song and Naga's "Warlord" skin. Most likely anachronistic.

Rheinmetall MK13 Mod 0 BTV-EL flash grenade

Adler with an MK 13 flashbang on his belt.

Model 24 Stielhandgrante

Seven unusable Model 24 Stielhandgranates can be seen on the "Die Maschine" Zombies map, right behind the Kingtiger tank.

Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade

Looking at "potato mashers".

Closer view of three stick grenades, it appears that the model is reused from Black Ops III and Black Ops 4.

RGD-5

Unusable RGD-5 grenades are visible on the harness of multiplayer operators Portnova and Garcia and on Naga's "Warlord" skin.

RGD-5 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade

Garcia's character model on the beta's main multiplayer screen.

RG-42

Also seen hanging on Garcia's belt is an RG-42 hand grenade.

RG-42 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade

The RG-42 is just barely visible on Garcia's belt, by his left hip.

Simulator Hand Grenade M116A1

The Simulator Hand Grenade M116A1 appears as the "Flashbang". In reality, this is a training grenade and not an actual combat device.

TM-46 anti-tank mine

A cosmetically modified TM-46 anti-tank mine appears as the "Proximity Mine" field upgrade.

Type 67 Stick Grenade

Several unusable Chinese Type 67 Grenades are seen on the Vietcong guerillas found in the campaign. In the multiplayer, an operator skin for Baker can be purchased with Season 2, which also has two Type 67 Stick Grenades attached to the belt.

Type 67 High-Explosive Fragmentation stick grenade

Bell looks at a dead Vietcong fighter.

The "Last One Standing" skin in-game.

Mounted Weapons

8.8 cm Flak 37

Bell destroys several Flak 37s in "The Final Countdown". It is inaccurately depicted as being mounted on Czechoslovakian type carriage and mount.

8.8 cm FlaK 37 (note the pointer dials, the rectangular boxes on the side of the gun cradle with two circles) - 88x571mm R

As evident from this image, the combination of a much larger Flak 37 with the ZK.453 carriage is dubious to work in reality as the latter is obviously designed for a smaller weapon.

30mm ZK.453

In "Red Light, Green Light", some 30mm ZK.453 anti-aircraft guns can be seen.

Browning M2 Aircraft

Five bent Browning M2 Aircraft Machine Guns in fixed and flexible mount are seen on a crashed Boeing B17 "Flying Fortress" on the Zombies map "Die Maschine". This bomber is first seen during the "Nacht der Untoten" cutscene from World at War.

Browning M2 Aircraft, Fixed - .50 BMG

Browning M2 Aircraft, flexible - .50 BMG

Looking at the top turret with two mounted Brownings.

The barrel of a waist gunner position.

A rear view of the same MG inside the bomber shows the spade grips of the flexible Browning variant. The last two MGs of the tail gunner position can be seen outside the map.

Browning M2HB

Browning M2HBs are mounted on M1 Abrams tanks.

Browning M2HB on vehicle mount - .50 BMG

DShKM Heavy Machine Gun

A DShKM Heavy Machine Gun appears to be mounted gunboats, tanks and bunkers in multiplayer and also on the Slava-class, and inappropriately, the Ticonderoga-class cruisers on the map Armada. It can be used in the campaign mission "Redlight, Greenlight", mounted on an APC.

DShKM - 12.7x108mm

General Electric M61 Vulcan

F-14A Tomcats, armed with M61 Vulcan cannons, are seen taking off from a Nimitz-class carrier in the reveal trailer. The carrier also sports Vulcan cannons in CIWS installations.

GE M61 Vulcan Cannon - 20x102mm

Phalanx Block 1 CIWS - 20x102mm

A Tomcat launching into the danger zone from the supercarrier, with CIWS visible on both sides of the bow.

M40 Recoilless Rifle

The M40 Recoilless Rifle is seen on jeeps inside Camp Haskins.

M40 Recoilless Rifle (Licensed in Japan as the Type 60) mounted on Type 73 Kyu jeep - 106mm Rocket

MG34

The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II "Königstiger" heavy tank on the "Die Maschine" Zombies map has a hull-mounted MG34.

MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The hull-mounted MG34. It appears that the weapon plus the entire tank model are reused from Black Ops III.

MG42

An MG42 with a drum magazine appears only as an emplaced weapon in the Vietnam War flashback mission "Fracture Jaw". It is confirmed that the MG34 was used in Vietnam as military aid from the Soviet Union which had captured stockpiles from WWII thus the appearance of the MG42 in this context is also plausible.

MG42 with drum magazine - 7.92x57mm Mauser

An MG42 in Vietnam. It appears that the model is lifted from Black Ops III.

Ditto.

Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B

A Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B is mounted on in-game Hind-D attack helicopters.

Closeup of Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B mounted on Mi-24 Hind-D - 12.7x108mm

The chin-mounted Yak-B as seen in the vehicle customization menu in Cold War.

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23

The "VTOL Escort" (Modeled after the Yak-38) has two Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23 autocannons mounted in underwing UPK-23 gunpods. While the pod itself is correctly modeled, it is incorrectly depicted as a flexible aiming system (independent from the Yak's nose direction) due to gameplay reasons and controls. It is also seen mounted with an NPPU-23 helicopter turret inaccurately onto a Mi-8 helicopter piloted by Kravchenko in "Mauer Der Toten".

Grayzev-Shipunov GSh-23 with ammo belt - 23x115mm

Other

Super Bazooka

A Super Bazooka is seen in Vietnam War archival footage in the intro of "Fracture Jaw".

150 lb Crossbow

A 150 lb crossbow similar to those by Velocity Archery and Wizard Archery appears as the "R1 Shadowhunter". Those designs are most likely anachronistic.

The "R1 Shadowhunter" in the gunsmith preview menu.

Beretta 92F

A Beretta 92F is seen on a movie poster in the map "Amerika".

Beretta 92F - 9x19mm Parabellum

IWI Galil ACE 21 - 5.56x45mm NATO

Tippman 98 Custom

A store display of paintball guns can be seen in the map "Rush" from Season 4 Reloaded. The Tippmann 98 Custom is one of those paintball guns. It is anachronistic as it was released in 1998.

Tippmann 98 Custom Paintball Marker - .62 caliber

Tippmann X7 G36

The map Rush from Season 4's mid-season update has Tippmann X7 G36 paintball guns in a glass display case. It is anachronistic as the G36 series of rifles on which it is based were introduced in the late 90s.

A Tippmann X7 G36 paintball gun.

M1 Garand

What appears to be M1 Garands are seen on the "Down Range" bundle picture.

M1 Garand - .30-06.

The last WWII-style American soldier on the right carries the rifle.

M114 155 mm howitzer

M114 155 mm howitzers are seen in firebase Ripcord in the mission "Fracture Jaw". The "Artillery" scorestreak also consists of a barrage from M114 155 mm howitzers.

M114 Howitzer - 155mm

The selection menu artwork for the "Artillery" scorestreak shows an M114 battery. This reflects their usage in the context of the Vietnam War through the game's Southeast Asian multiplayer maps are set in the 80s.

The barrels of the howitzers can be seen in the distance.

Matchlock Musket

A Spanish conquistador firing a Matchlock Musket is seen in the "Iron Sight Assassin" calling card that could be earned during season 2 at level 180.

European Matchlock musket.

Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle with PE scope - 7.62x54mm R

The rifle is equipped with a PEM sniper scope instead of the better-known PU scope.

Recurve Bow

A recurve bow which appears to be based on Rambo's bows appears in the campaign and as a killstreak in multiplayer. It is inaccurately depicted as being usable underwater which doesn't hinder in any way the arrow's movement nor the flame of the fire arrows.

Valmet M76F

A Valmet M76F is seen in the City Ripper bundle picture.

Valmet M76F with side folding tubular stock - 5.56x45mm NATO

Walther PPK

A suppressed Walther PPK is seen held by Adler in the "Action Packed" calling card.
